I tried using an oil extractor to suck all the motor oil out on my 99' Boxster last weekend. The extractor tube got hung up in the dipstick tube about 1/2 way in, but with al ittle bit of wiggling, I could get the extractor tube to go all the way in.
It doesn't work very well for sucking the oil out. I'm not sure of the setup of where the dipstick tube leads to in relation to where all the oil is, but after 20 minutes and only 1 quart coming out, i pulled the extractor tube out.
So i guess in a bind you can suck out at least some (if not all) motor oil using an extractor, but it's really not very effiecient.
